Overview

  • Glen Rogers, 62, was executed at Florida State Prison for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a mother of two, in Tampa.
  • Rogers also received a death sentence in California for strangling Sandra Gallagher, a mother of three, weeks before the Cribbs murder.
  • He claimed to have killed 70 people but later recanted; authorities linked him to other killings but lacked sufficient evidence for additional convictions.
  • Rogers' final words included praise for former President Donald Trump and a cryptic message to victims' families about unanswered questions.
  • This marks Florida's fifth execution in 2025, carried out using a three-drug lethal injection protocol.
